the Fortuner will be powered by the 2.7-litre, four-cylinder, dual VVT-i petrol engine. The power plant will churn out 162bhp of power and 245Nm of peak torque which will be mated probably to a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic gearbox.

Toyota will offer the diesel variant as well on the Next-Gen Fortuner and powering the SUV will be a 2.4-litre GD engine and a 2.8-litre engine which is seen in the Innova Crysta.

The same variant is available here in Kuwait. Few photos posted in this ownership thread.

What I noticed is that rear profile of Innova Crysta is identical to this new variant of Toyota Fortuner. Both share certain parts, and percentage of parts sharing is much more in the upcoming version than the outgoing versions.

I have not seen the new Fortuner in flesh but I agree. Looking at the dealership pics posted by Chethan it looks too much like the Crysta albeit much more butch. I hope the price difference is not too much or else Crysta itself will cannibalise Fortuner sales and you wont need a Endeavour to do that.

Will also get a 2.7-litre petrol engine along with the 2.8 diesel; lower-spec 2.4 diesel to join later. Launch this November; booking open.

New Toyota Fortuner launch date

Toyota will launch the SUV in November and cars have already been seen in dealership around the country. Dealerships are accepting bookings for the new Fortuner with deliveries being promised around early November.

Ahead of its confirmed launch on November 7, a the variant list of the 2016 Toyota Fortuner is circulating on social media. The new Toyota Fortuner will reportedly come in petrol and diesel variants from the first day.

Toyota Kirloskar Motor is reported to launch the new Fortuner in six variants: 4×2 Petrol MT, 4×2 Petrol AT, 4×2 Diesel MT, 4×2 Diesel AT, 4×4 Diesel MT, 4×4 Diesel AT. It appears that the 6-speed automatic gearbox is optional in all variants, while a 4WD system is exclusive to the top-end diesel variant.

The new Fortuner will source its engine from the Innova Crysta, although the text states that it will not be offered with the smaller 2.4L GD diesel option. So, the diesel variant will pack the bigger 2.8-liter GD diesel engine. The petrol variant will source power from a 2.7-liter four-cylinder petrol engine which was recently introduced on the Innova, though its availability will be initially restricted to Delhi-NCR and Mumbai

Some of the features equipped in the top-end grades include LED projector headlights, LED daytime running lights, A-TRC Traction Control (TRC) system, Down Hill Assist Control (DAC) system, electric tailgate, electrically adjustable driver’s seat, cruise control, T-Connect infotainment system with satellite navigation and reversing camera.

Returning back here after a long time, work and my bike rides looted all my time :)
There were issues reported in Thailand and Philippines regarding transmission failure in some vehicles, hope Toyota has sorted this out for the India specific Fortuner!

I am not sure why Toyota missed the Sunroof option, will there be a option to fit Sunroof at Toyota itself as an added accessory?

We attended the launch of the All New Toyota Fortuner today here in Delhi. The new design is boasting of fluidic language and personally I find the out-going model to be externally much more charming and handsome. Here is the Official Coverage of the launch for The Automotive India. Thanks to all for supporting me and to Vibhor.
